Nestled on just over 5 acres (approx) in the much sought-after Chewton Bushlands, this off-grid three-bedroom home offers a peaceful escape, surrounded by nature's beauty.

A fireplace with a stone surround is flanked by double doors that open to a 10.1 x 5.3 north and west-facing entertaining deck. The deck overlooks the surrounding bushland and makes for the ideal spot to entertain family and friends and watch the sunset. A north-facing lounge makes for a cosy place to relax and enjoy the view of the trees through the windows.
Three generous-sized bedrooms look out to the garden, and the main bedroom has a solid wood heater with a brick surround, built-in robes and external access to the front verandah. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, a vanity and a toilet, and the laundry has easy external access. A shed houses the off-grid solar battery backup and generator. Three large water tanks provide water for the house and garden, and the home has NBN connectivity.
The 5.17 acre (approx) property is a tranquil escape with private bushland, a pretty and low maintenance garden, fruit trees, a 5.4m x 5m carport, an enclosed raised veggie garden and a chook pen. Two large dams nestled with the landscape provide water for the garden and make the perfect swimming spot during summer.
